When we talk of the UK there are all these great shots of London – London is fantastic
There is much more than London – we have this great range of places we want to encourage film makers to go
That is going to be the key, especially for Chinese film makers
We see some very different opportunities for China
Predominantly at the moment the films I look after are US-studio financed and they tend to be huge big construction, big effects
There is huge capacity in the UK for independent films and high-end television drama
Our biggest TV shows are spread out throughout the UK
‘Game of Thrones’ shooting in Belfast
Sony and Stars ‘Outlander’ up in Scotland
ABC TV-Disney ‘Arm Shooting’ – a musical drama in Bristol

And amazing TV productions up in the northwest and in Yorkshire
And to have London as the best capital city in the world – the most beautiful cinematic city
We are extremely lucky for such a small country
You mention some of the great blockbusters relying on special effects
But the UK has the ability to create amazing film production without the razzmatazz
Alongside these huge budget films, the smaller independent side of British film is doing very well
My personal favourite this year is ‘45 Years’
We make films that resonate, that will make you shiver with delight at the most beautiful, dramatic situations that are created.
